Something good about 'ol Harry Truman you didn't know (even though he was a Demorat:

Harry Truman was a different kind of President. He probably made as many, or more important decisions regarding our nation's history as any of the other 32 Presidents preceding him. However, a measure of his greatness may rest on what he did after he left the White House. The only asset he had when he died was the house he lived in,which was in Independence , Missouri . His wife had inherited the house from her mother and father and other than their years in the White House, they lived their entire lives there.

When he retired from office in 1952 his income was a U.S. Army pension reported to have been $13,507.72 a year. Congress, noting that he was paying for his stamps and personally licking them, granted him an 'allowance' and later, a retroactive pension of $25,000 per year.

After President Eisenhower was inaugurated, Harry and Bess drove home to Missouri by themselves. There was no Secret Service following them.

When offered corporate positions at large salaries, he declined, stating, "You don't want me. You want the office of the President, and that doesn't belong to me. It belongs to the American people and it's not for sale."

Even later, on May 6, 1971, when Congress was preparing to award him the Medal of Honor on his 87th birthday, he refused to accept it, writing, "I don't consider that I have done anything which should be the reason for any award, Congressional or otherwise."

As president he paid for all of his own travel expenses and food.

Modern politicians have found a new level of success in cashing in on the Presidency, resulting in untold wealth. Today, too many in Congress also have found a way to become quite wealthy while enjoying the fruits of their offices. Political offices are now for sale (ie. Illinois ).

Good old Harry Truman was correct when he observed, "My choices in life were either to be a piano player in a whore house or a politician. And to tell the truth, there's hardly any difference!

We ought to have cloned him for telling it like it is and being frugal with our tax dollars!

Wonder what he'd think about Hussian Omuslim blowing billions of American tax payer dollars on his and Mooochell's, his mother in law's multi- million dollar vacays???

Today’s Republicans, much less the Democrats, would call him a Tea Party member in order to discredit him.

Truman would have been absolutely appalled by 0bama. I believe Truman was actually a very good guy on a personal level, from what I’ve read about him anyway. Certainly better than FDR in that regard.

How in the world do you scoop up eleven kittens and hold them ... even for a second? That’s an Olympic athlete level feat.

Harry Truman made America the first country to recognize the Nation of Israel six minutes after David Ben-Gurion announced their nationhood on May 14, 1948. God blessed America with Harry Truman.

The USS Nevada (BB-36) was NOT sunk. Her crew (damn near alone among the BBs and I blame the Captains) fought professionally, like hell to get her underway and beach herself and as a result was back in the war and killing Japanese when we re-took Attu in 1943.

Just a quibble, but there were 31 Presidents before Truman, not 32. He is officially the 33rd President, but the two Grover Clevelands were actually the same man.
